Maintenance Tips

• Unplug Before Cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning the interior or exterior to prevent electrical shock.

• Daily Wipe‑Down: Wipe the oven cavity, turntable, and door surfaces with a soft cloth and warm water + mild soap after use to remove splatters and spills.

• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive pads, bleach, or strong chemicals inside or on the control panel, as they can damage coatings and controls.

• Turntable Care: Remove the glass turntable and roller ring to clean with mild detergent; rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

• Grease Filter Cleaning: If installed recirculating filters (grease filters), remove and soak them monthly in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry fully before reinstalling.

• Charcoal Filter Replacement: For recirculating installations, replace the charcoal filter every ~6 months (or sooner with heavy use) to maintain effective odor control.

• Keep Seals & Vents Clean: Frequently wipe door seals and ventilation openings to prevent buildup that can cause poor sealing or overheating.

• Use Microwave‑Safe Cookware: Always use containers and wraps labeled microwave safe and avoid metal utensils or foil to prevent arcing and damage
